When the entertainment division took over news in 1976's “Network,” some saw the storyline as anything but fiction. To entertain and focus on important issues is a tough job, but some, such as the late George Carlin, used controversy, not to demean, but to enlighten his audience. 1/11

Rob Kendall, [FN1] no George Carlin, took umbrage w/my blog [FN2] & posted on X:
“Think of the time you just wasted whining about Micah Beckwith. That’s even more hilarious than the vote totals in some of your elections.” My reply was polite: 2/11

“If you disagree w/me, address my arguments. I did not waste time because I did not ‘whine.’ Beckwith, et al, pose a threat to this country that is anything but ‘hilarious.’ On totals, I received more votes in each run for elective office than Beckwith got at the GOP convention.” 3/11

Kendall [FN3] does not address my arguments, but
A) complains about the length: 9 paragraphs of substantive argument and 3 posts of footnotes, formatted for “X” is not unusually long; 4/11

B) harps about “Beckwith Derangement Syndrome,” in reference to the IN Lt Gov-elect.
Again, Kendall does not address my arguments in today’s, or in prior, blogs, but only tries to insult me. 5/11 btw follow Cassie Jackson on Facebook!

C) & compounds the insults saying “the hilarity that a grown man actually wrote it, and it was to be taken serious, not as a SNL skit or Mad Magazine piece kept me going.”
This is very serious. For starters, Beckwith believes this is a theocracy. 6/11

I’m not the only person who has written of the danger that Beckwith, a Christofascist, poses. Nor did I limit my expression of concern to Beckwith: “Beckwith, et al, pose a threat to this country that is anything but ‘hilarious.’” The “et al.” is an abbreviation of Latin “and others.” 7/11

Those others include people like Kendall, who enable Beckwith to rise through the political ranks like stench from a cow pie on a chilly autumn morning. Kendall can take a deep breath & taste the future. 8/11

FN3. “LOL. You wrote a Dickens novel. I thought I was going to have to take a break & come back there was so much Beckwith Derangement Syndrome. Only the hilarity that a grown man actually wrote it,... 10/11
